Karam Rajpal's Rising Star: How Ishani Could Redefine His Career"

 Karam Rajpal’s career has indeed shown signs of a steady climb, with a mix of television and film roles that have built his reputation as a versatile actor. Starting with his debut in 2011 as Ayush Parekh in Hamari Saass Leela, he faced early challenges, including leaving the show due to internal issues. However, he bounced back with roles in shows like Parichay (Rohit Thakral), Kya Huaa Tera Vaada (Madhav Chawla), and Suvreen Guggal – Topper of The Year (Samar Raghuvanshi), showcasing his ability to handle diverse characters, from antagonists to leads. His work in Naamkarann (Vidyut), Mere Angne Mein (Shivam Shrivastav), and Manmohini further cemented his presence in Indian television. He also ventured into films, notably with a supporting role in Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017) alongside Varun Dhawan, and Mere Dad Ki Maruti, expanding his reach beyond the small screen.

His recent role as the male lead in Jhanak’s Ishani storyline, produced by Magic Moments Motion Pictures for Star Plus, could indeed be a pivotal moment. Announced on July 7, 2025, this role places him opposite Megha Chakraborty in a love triangle plot with Richa Rathore’s character, Pihu. The buzz around Ishani as a standalone story suggests a fresh narrative arc, which could elevate his visibility and showcase his acting chops in a high-profile project. Posts on X reflect excitement about this casting, indicating positive sentiment among fans.

However, his career has had its share of calculated moves. For instance, he exited Rang Jaun Tere Rang Mein due to discomfort with playing an older character post a 20-year leap, showing his focus on roles that align with his long-term goals. His resilience is also evident in his recovery from an injury during Qayaamat Se Qayaamat Tak, where he continued filming despite setbacks, earning praise for his dedication.

While Ishani has the potential to be a game-changer, the television industry is unpredictable, and success depends on audience reception and the show’s execution. His past roles have built a solid foundation, but this project could amplify his career if it resonates with viewers. The narrative of a slow upswing seems apt—Rajpal’s strategic choices and consistent work suggest he’s positioning himself for a bigger breakthrough, and Ishani might just be the catalyst.
